Beating the Market Man.

The sample dodge is an old and mean
trick by which some sharpers in q small
way beat the market man out OF a dinner
now and then. II you stay here long
enough you'll see one of them. usually
get from two to dozen visits trom them
every day. Many OF them are men, old
men. usually, of respectable appearance,
though occasionally you find q well
dressed woman in the business, and now
and then child. 1t is worked like this.
The sample fiend comes up when you are
not busy and tells you that he has not
laid in his winter stock Of vegetables yet.
Then he talks about different kinds of
potatoes and wants to see what we have
got He takes potato out of each bar
rel, says he'll try them all and see which
he likes best, and moves coolly off. Of
course we never see him again.
Now that seems like a very small kind
of a confidence game for grown people to
be ut, doesn't it? But believe there are
scores Of families who depend on just such
little tricks for the chief part of their sus-
tenance. Anyway, we have lots of them
down here. have known them to come
and ''work the racket and go away and
then be at some other stand on the same
errand an hour later. 1 actually believe
some of them have gathered enough vege-
tables in this way out of this market in a
day to last them all winter. OF course
beggars we would fire out of here in a
holy minute, and persons who didn't look
respectable we shouldn't allow to take q
sample. But what can you do when nicely
dressed persons, who, for all you know,
| NAV own a brown stone block and be able
to buy you out thousand times, come
along and work you this way?-Stallkeep

ways Of American Yachtmen.

One of the most prominent members of
the New York Yacht club hove up at once
with the remark that:
''American yachtmen are becoming as
set and immovable in their scruples and
prejudices as the most rabid sons of Great
Britain. Whether it has anything to do
with the prevailing craze of Anglomania
or not cannot say, but it is there just the
same. The most steadfast and vigorous
efforts on the part Of the wide awake
yachting men of America toward having
the races for the America cup occur in the
spring instead of the fall have failed again.
Because the races have always been held
in the fall, they insist on continuing to
hold them at the same time of Gthe year,
although the contests nearly all resolve
themselves into drifting matches, and are
unsatisfactory alike to yachtmen and spec
tators If the rule were changed now in
the face of precedent and the race held in
the spring, it would give us another year
to get ready for the Scotchman's boat
which you may mark my word will be
clipper-and we would thus be sure Of
having brisk winds and races fair to all
comers. New York Cor. Pioneer Press.

"NEARLY CRAZED

with pain" is the sad cry of many victim
of rheumatism or neuralgia, and frequently
other diseases, such as kidney and liver
complaints, are directly traceable to rheu-
matism or neuralgia. These diseases for
some unexplainable reason, are rapidly in
creasing, and in many instances are the
direct cause Of much sickness which so
hides its real origin as to lie mistaken for
other diseases. In curing rheumatism neu-
ralgia, sick headache, and in many cases of
kidney and liver troubles, Athlophoros has
wrought wonders. Those who have used
it are best qualified to speak of its merit.
Said Mrs Smith, of Washington, c. H.,
Ohio, to the writer: "You can see have
been a great sufferer from, neuralgia, by
which / have lost the use of my left eye. |
wasrecommended to use Athlophoros, which
did. While it has not restored my eye
sight it has rid meof theneuralgia. lhave
used only two bottles. 1t has done wonders
for me, and I, as long sufferer from neu-
ralgia, would advise anyone suffering from
the same to use Athlophoros.
Mrs. Ella Smith, 81 North Foster street,
Springfield, Ohio, says: AZ did have rheu-
matism and very badly, but not since | used
Athlophoros. 1t was almost miraculous the
way the medicine drove the disease from my
system. had only takena few doses before
itseemed to grasp and master the disease.
1t actedso quicklyI was almost afraid to
continue with the medicine. I dld, how
ever by reducing the dose, Since that time
| have been perfectly well and free from
rheumatism. Ionly used halfbottle stead
lily until l considered myself cured then I
took dose occasionally to make myself
doubly sure that it would not return.

Wouldn't Trust a Bank.

An Illinois paper relates the follow
ing Incidents which occurred TO man
who was afraid to trust his money with
the banks:
Joseph Barth, wealthy farmer
living about two miles south of this
place, who generally goes by the name
of Little Miser," some time last fall
hid away in his Oat bin $3.50 in gold.
The other day he hauled III his oats to
market, forgetting about the hidden
treasure until the oats had all been
hauled and dumped into ear to be
shipped. After it had been discovered
that the money had been hauled In to-
gether with the grain, a search for u
was made. The oats were shoveled
over several times, and the search kept
up for about three hours, at the end of
which time it was suspended to search
in another place, to which place more
oats from the grain bin where the
money had been secreted, had been
hauled. Shortly after Mr.. Barth's de-
parture from the car one of the laborers
employed by the grain firm thought he
would renew the search. After shovel
ing q few shovelfuls, and throwing
them aside he espied small lump OF
rag tied up with a string. On exami-
nation it proved to be the lost money
con tanning the amount stated. Had il
not been discovered until a few hours
later the car would have been sent out
"Some ten years ago the same man
hid away $500 dollars in paper behind
cupboard in the kitchen. Some six
or eight months later he purchased
piece of land, intending to make pay
ment on it with this $500. On going
to the place he found that a mouse haC
made nest out of the bills, and that
they were cut up in such small pieces as
to be worthless.

A Case for the Doctors.

Jacob Hulshizer, q brakeman on the New
Jersey Central railroad, while coupling cars
at Easton, Pa, was caught between the
bumpers. When released he was uncon-
scious, and his body began swelling so rap
Idly that his shirt band had to be cut to pre-
vent him from choking The swelling con-
tinued until his body completely filed his
clothing, bursting his shirt and trousers in
several places His head was soon swoolen to
twice its natural size, and blood poured in
streams from his mouth, ears and nose. A
doctor who was called said the swelling was
caused by the bursting Of blood vessels in
Hulshizer's lungs, which forced air into all
the tissues of his body. The skin has the ap-
pearance Of blown up bladder, and if pressed
the air beneath is forced away, ana returns
with a loud snap when the pressure is re-
moved

Not every one knows that the postage
stamp is a woman's invention. A French
woman, the Duchese de Longueville, i'll 1853,
devised it. But for some reason the idea died
out for nearly 200 years, and was then re-
vived. 1t was first advocated III England by
Rowland Hill in 1887, and adapted in 1S4O
The first design was a small boy on q gallop-
ing horse, blowing a trumpet and clad only
in his integrity. He had scarf along with
him, but apparently only used it as wrap in
cold weather, for in the picture it floats out
behind him adding to the appearance of great
haste. This design was in memory Of the
days when Assyrian and Persian monarchs

Protective Agencies for Women.

The good work done by the "Protec-
tive Agencies for Women and Chill
drenn is beyond all praise. Collecting
wages that would otherwise be kept
back, saving girls who are in danger of
being enticed away, looking after de-
serted wives, defending women from
fraudulent agents who profess to sell
sewing machines on the instalment
plan,-all these and many other ways
of helping and defending those who
need it, are employed by the Protective
Agencies. The greatest trouble is in
securing punishment for criminal as
suits. The committee of the Chicago
Agency say:
"There seems a general disposition on
the part Of policejustices to look upon
rape as venial offense, deserving
about as much punishment as larceny,
and to regard an attempt at criminal
assault as mere piece of disorderly con-
duct, for which a fine is the proper
penalty. Our suits are dismissed upon
what seem to women to be the most
frivolous pretexts; or, when the offend
ers are convicted, the sentences inn
posed are so tight that we cannot Won
der at the constant recurrence OF SINH
lar crimes, or the frequent insults to
which the most virtuous women art
subjected upon our streets"
The only way to have these crimes
against women punished as they de
serve, is to have women share the law
making power. No class is protected
that cannot protect itself. The vote
protects. When all the women wht
are engaged in benevolent but half
futile endeavors will make common
cause with the suffragists in their de
mand for the ballot las many Of then
already do), it will not be long befor'
we obtain it. It is we'll in the mean
time to circulate petitions for protec
ton to young girls; but this would Ger
tainly soon be secured if women ha'
votes and could serve on juries.
